摘      要：Objective： To investigate the enhancive effect ofN, N′-dinitrosopiperazine （DNP） on induced carcinogenesis in nasal and/or nasopharyngeal epithelia among TgN（p53mt-LMP1）/HT transgenic mice to examine the underlying mechanism for the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma （NPC）. Methods： TgN（p53mt-LMP1）/HT transgenic mice and the same strain of C57BL/6J wild-type mice both at the age of 5 months were randomly divided into 2 groups in parallel, respectively, i.e., TgN（p53mt-LMP1）/HT cancerous lesion-inducing group （T1）, TgN（p53mt-LMP1）/HT control group （TC）, C57BL/6J cancerous lesion-inducing group （CI）, and C57BL/6J control group （CC）. TI and CI mice were treated only with DNP for 16 weeks, twice each week, while TC and CC mice were given the same volume of saline as *** the end of treatment, animals were sacrificed to collect epithelial tissue samples from nasal cavity and nasopharynx for pathohistological evaluation by hacmatoxylin and eosin （HE） staining and for determination on the expression ofTRAF2, c-Jun, and p 16 by immunohistochemistry. Results： Atypical hyperplasia was more significant in the samples of TI than in those of TC, CI, and CC, with the rates of lesions being 90%, 10%, 0, and 0 （P〈0.01） respectively, though DNP was used alone in a much shortened inducing period at less dosage and without the use of carcinogenic promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate as usual. The expressions of tumor necrosis factor （TNF） receptor-associated factor 2 （TRAF2） and c-Jun in these samples were significantly up-regulated in TI （P〈0.0 I）, while tbe expression of p16 was significantly lower in TI than in the other groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： TgN（p53mt-LMPI）/HT mice hold inherited constitutional defect in immune surveillance function, which can be aggravated by environmental carcinogens, such as DNP used even though in a much less strength. The enhanced carcinogenesis-inducing effect of DNP on TgN（p53mt-LMP1）/HT mice should be closely associated with abn
